Due to the time restrictions of early recording media, a cylinder typically ran for a maximum two or four minutes, only short passages from plays could be recorded. Many of the recordings that survive have been reproduced commercially and several LPs contain some of the sessions listed below.
The last commercial release of Bernhardt recordings was a set of CDs entitled Le Théâtre Parisien. This was released in Europe and the USA by EMI, it also contains archive recordings by Sacha Guitry and Jean Cocteau.
